ModernScientific Research
In the last decade, in vitro studiesrevealed that water-extracted cinnamon might help support healthy bloodsugar levels by improving the effectiveness of insulin action. Ananimal study showed that cinnamon extract activates insulin and glucosetransport, enhancing glucose utilization. Another study evaluated thepossible effects on insulin function with 49 herb, spice and medicinalplant extracts. Cinnamon was found to be the most bioactive of theherbs, which suggests a possible role in improving glucose and insulinmetabolism. A 40-day human study with 60 people, given 1, 3 or 6 gramsof cinnamon daily, found that all three levels of cinnamon reduced themean fasting serum glucose (18-29%), triglycerides (23-30%), LDLcholesterol (7-27%), and total cholesterol (12-26%) levels. The mostsignificant results were found with 3 grams of whole cinnamon bark, theequivalent amount provided daily in Planetary Formulas Full SpectrumCinnamon Extract. In addition to improving cellular glucose metabolism,cinnamon may provide other benefits through its antioxidant activity. Cinnamon contains flavonoids, which are potent antioxidants and may besynergistic with vitamins and trace elements. A study published in theJournal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that water-solublepolyphenolic polymers in cinnamon may function as antioxidants,potentiate insulin action, and may be beneficial in the control ofglucose intolerance.
A History of Traditional Use
TheRomans believed cinnamons fragrance was sacred and burned it atfunerals. They even referred to their sweethearts as my myrrh and mycinnamon, much as we use the endearment honey today. And becausecinnamon was one of the first spices sought in the 15th century Europeanexplorations, some say it indirectly led to the discovery of America.Also known as Cassia, Sweet Wood, and Gui Zhi, cinnamon is traditionallyharvested in Asian countries and used to promote appetite and supportdigestion.
